:| I totally have no control over which contests are going to appear; I just simply stated I would be willing to host this one and get it rolling, since we completely missed the last quarter 2009 boat and have to hit first quarter 2010. Character comp is a pretty big task D:! I've also been somewhat pestering for it's appearance since before NCFC this year
but it's mainly about timing; didn't want to overwhelm users with too many different competitions at once.
Also I'd like to direct all Q/A and such over to the link posted in the starting post; there's information and other stuff in there to look over if you're thinking about entering.
